Telecommunications

The program requires coursework in one specialisation and thesis preparation. Each student works with a supervisor from the faculty. The professor helps the student plan an academic program of coursework compatible with the degree requirements and the student’s educational objectives. The advisor also supervises the research and the thesis preparation. The thesis is based on a research project that partly involves the original material. Graduates of the Telecommunications specialisation possess the knowledge and skills necessary to design, implement, and operate telecommunication circuits, equipment, and systems based on modern technologies. The study, in particular, the methods and techniques for transmission of information using radio waves using the potential of digital processes, computers, and other advanced technologies, as well as the methods of image and sound processing. Students also acquire skills necessary to solve system problems that require comprehensives knowledge in telecommunications and computer science, combined with some non-engineering knowledge.
